If I create a new torrent, does CGNAT (carrier-grade network address translation) prevent me from being an initial seeder of that torrent? I've made test torrents before and noticed that none of them seemed to be downloadable. Seeding the test torrents on a VPS of mine with a public IP has surprisingly worked before.

I can download and upload in my torrent client just fine, so I know my ISP isn't (intentionally) blocking and firewalling torrents.

For the first time, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has acknowledged that israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, this morning at her daily press conference. Previously when questioned during her Mañaneras del Pueblo, the morning press conferences she holds, she referred to it as a “war,” and used more neutral language, despite Mexico signing on to both the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court cases against israel in 2024.

“We have supported, from President López Obrador and now all the complaints that have been presented together with the Chilean government regarding the situation in Gaza and the entire position, in agreement with the international community, is to stop this genocide in Gaza. That is our position,” she said.

“We want the genocide in Gaza to stop. There can be no aggression against the civilian population.”

“The first time that Mexico recognizes a Palestinian ambassador with all her rights is in our government,” the President added.

Mexico’s Ambassador to Colombia had attended the most recent Hague Group meeting where multiple countries, but had not joined in any of the actions other countries took against israel.

Over the weekend, a coalition of 300 trade unions initiated a campaign to pressure the Mexican government to take a proactive stance against the genocide, marching through Mexico City, and on Sunday evening, activists illuminated the Monument to the Revolution with a demand that President Claudia Sheinbaum condemn the genocide in Gaza, with projections stating that “neutrality was complicity,” and Mexico is with Palestine.

As a state signatory to the Genocide Convention, Mexico has obligations under international law to actively take measures to prevent and to punish the crime of genocide, including by enacting relevant legislation and punishing perpetrators, from public officials to private individuals, which could include multiple businesspeople who do business in Mexico, as well as IDF soldiers who vacation in the country. Mexico is also obligated to act to prevent genocide extraterritorially.

Swimming in the river used to be a key facet of Chicago life, but by the 1920s, sewage and industrial runoff had made the river unsafe to swim in. According to event organizers, official swim events in the Chicago River ended in 1926.

Event organizers said the Chicago River is now at its cleanest levels on record, the result of a concerted effort to clean up, improve wastewater management and push for stricter water-quality standards.

Maintaining the health of waterways in urban areas contributes to the public health and wellness of cities, and it reduces extreme heat risks from climate change, said Margaret Frisbie, executive director of Friends of the Chicago River.

The advocacy group, founded in 1979, has long worked to protect and restore the Chicago River, for example pushing for discharge from water treatment plants to be disinfected before being released into the river, Frisbie said.

About 300 swimmers participated in the event, marveling at the clean water and festive atmosphere. Event organizers say they'll donate $100,000 to ALS research and $50,000 to fund swim lessons for about 2,000 youths at the Salvation Army’s Kroc Cente…

New type of detector enables deeper understanding of the universe

The underground “Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO)” near Jiangmen city in the Guangdong Province, which was prepared with the participation of researchers from the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), has successfully completed the filling of its 20,000 tons of liquid scintillator and begun data taking. After more than a decade of preparation and construction, JUNO is the first of a new generation of very large neutrino experiments to reach this stage. Initial trial operation and data taking show that key performance indicators met or exceeded design expectations, enabling JUNO to tackle one of this decade’s major open questions in particle physics: the ordering of neutrino masses—whether the third mass state (ν₃) is heavier than the second (ν₂).

The Wall Street Journal, its parent company and Rupert Murdoch asked a federal judge to dismiss Donald Trump‘s $10 billion defamation lawsuit over the publication’s report on the president’s past connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

“The First Amendment’s protections for truthful speech are the backbone of the Constitution,” the Journal’s attorneys wrote in their motion.

The attorneys also challenged the notion the that the article could have damaged Trump’s reputation, noting that he had “publicly admitted to ‘locker room talk’ and has made numerous bawdy public statements,” as well as to his relationship with Epstein.

Hello, my name is Ihab, speaking to you from northern Gaza. I have lost everything in this war. I no longer have a home or a safe place to protect my family. The bombings continue above our heads, and the sound of the drones terrifies the children. They go to sleep hungry, while I struggle without enough money to move south because of the skyrocketing prices.

The ABC late-night host is returning to broadcast on Tuesday following a brief-but-monumental suspension that sparked a national debate over the Trump Administration’s pressure tactics and the modern limits and consequences of free speech.

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” ABC parent The Walt Disney Company said in a statement Monday. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

Behind the scenes, sources says Kimmel wasn’t planning to apologize on that night’s show and instead was going to defend his original comments as being taken out of context and “grossly mischaracterized” by MAGA, which Disney brass thought would only inflame the situation. Disney/ABC then announced Jimmy Kimmel Live! was “suspended indefinitely.” On Thursday, a follow-up meeting between Kimmel and Disney execs reportedly ended in a stalemate with Kimmel sticking to his stated plan of unapologetically defending himself.

Despite Kimmel’s return, it is not immediately clear if his show will be available across the entire country. Sinclair, for its part, had said that it would not go back to running Kimmel’s show on its stations until the late night host apologized for his comments, met with Sinclair representatives, and made a donation to Turning Point, the organization that Kirk founded. Sinclair, it should be noted, owns the ABC station in the Washington D.C. metro area, among other markets.

Nexstar, similarly, could also choose to continue to preempt the show, though of course it wiould still be accessible online across the country after it runs on ABC.

Come mi lamentai “qualche tempo fa” (e minchia, è passato già un mese…), dovrei inventarmi qualcosa per ovviare allo strano bug di Android per cui i collegamenti alle webapp e ai siti spariscono dal launcher. E beh, avendo provato varie hack, ma tutte invano, l’unica vera opzione sarebbe farmi un’appina WebView per contenere almeno tutte […]

pagina di startaggio fatta dall’ia per risolvere la pigrizia di android e la casa rotta (startpage HTML5 custom creata per webapp su mobile)

Come mi lamentai “qualche tempo fa” (e minchia, è passato già un mese…), dovrei inventarmi qualcosa per ovviare allo strano bug di Android per cui i collegamenti alle webapp e ai siti spariscono dal launcher. E beh, avendo provato varie hack, ma tutte invano, l’unica vera opzione sarebbe farmi un’appina WebView per contenere almeno tutte le mie appine web… ma la cosa è seccante e quindi, per ora, indovinate un po’, non c’ho avuto voglia. 😩

Beh, non ci ho pensato molto sul subito, perché credevo fosse un’idea decente semplicemente aprire Chromium ogni volta (di modo che ogni volta si apra con la schermata di lancio con i collegamenti rapidi, ovviamente)… ma poi ci ho pensato meglio e no, fa schifo, perché i collegamenti sono pochi e nemmeno viene usato bene lo spazio a schermo per mostrarli. E, ovviamente, il widget dei preferiti di Chromium (e chissà se questo è colpa sua in assoluto, di Mulch, o della MIUI che rompe tutto…) sulla home si rompe, quindi usare quello purtroppo nemmeno mi è possibile. ☠️

Ieri però mi sono seccata (proprio, il mio spirito è evaporato e io sono rimasta secca croccante), e quindi, almeno per apparare (…app-arare?) la situazione un po’ meglio fintanto che non mi decido a fare quella cosa di cui sopra, ho pensato di fare una semplice pagina HTML con i miei collegamenti personali. Tuttavia… visto che il vibe di base comunque era la mancanza di voglia, e non ho trovato online template di pagine iniziali che fossero sia decenti per quello che ora volevo (stile mobile con griglia di icone), sia funzionanti (quanto odio i troiai…)… me la sono fatta fare da DeepSeek la paginetta, evviva la pigrizia! 👍

“Octo Startpage“… fa già ridere così. Le uniche cose che ho fatto sono state togliere una barra di ricerca mezza rotta che lui mi aveva messo (tanto, se proprio mi serve, uso direttamente quella del browser sopra), rendere le icone più grandi (anche perché altrimenti sul mio telefono, con i DPI aumentati, uscivano fin troppo piccole), aggiungere l’uso di caratteri (emoji o lettere) quando un’icona normale manca, e impostare un’icona per la pagina stessa… Così da aver poi potuto aggiungere un collegamento ad essa nel mio launcher (e la bomba PNG di WhatsApp usata così ha indubbiamente il suo perché, comunque). 😳

La UI ha quel tratto tipico del vibe coding, ma ehh, forse anche quella ha un suo perché… è comunque sia certamente guardabile e fa il suo, quindi mi accontento ampiamente, che ora non ho voglia di trastullarmici. Rimane sempre una non-soluzione, perché comunque è solo una pagina web che apre altre pagine web, quindi rimane quel problema per cui mi si riempie di spazzatura la lista delle schede (e per cui si vede l’interfaccia del browser sopra, che spreca un minimo di spazio, ma pensandoci meglio questo aspetto non è un’enorme tragedia con un display da 6.2″ e i DPI aumentati), ma è già meglio di 1 giorno fa. 💣

La pagina sta sul mio server, così che io la possa modificare ed aprire con (suppongo) meno bestemmie, anche se tecnicamente non è ad uso pubblico… ma eh, l’indirizzo si vede nell’immagine, quindi comunque lo riscrivo qui, se qualcuno vuole rubare (è 95% IA, quindi non ne detengo copyright, niente licenza, via): . La cosa figa, però, è che mi è accessibile anche offline, senza aver dovuto impostare service worker o altri rompimentissimi di scatole, semplicemente avendo cliccato il tasto download dentro Chromium, quindi… se un giorno mi esplode il server, posso comunque usare la pagina per aprire quei miei siti che stanno su server diversi da quello esploso! (E l’icona di bomba a quel punto potrebbe rivelarsi ironicamente sensata.) 🕸️
